Soup maker

Greyduster, I started off using the recipe book but now just chuck stuff in and it always seems to work out fine. Same as when I make big pots actually ... all guess work!

Our Tefal soup maker is probably best Christmas present ever. Really quick and very little washing up

Greyduster, Charlie Chan?

I can't see why anyone would need a soup maker. A stockpot, a good hand whizer and you have soup for days and when the log burner is going just sit it on there to cook. Easy peasy.

A soup maker makes things even easier peasier !!!

Bought my Morphy Richards soup maker in July 2014 and was delighted with it.Didn't use it much last summer but when I came to use it this winter found it didn't work on the blend action. Rang the firm who had no helpful suggestions other than to offer me a new one at a discount whIch I declined
Not too happy!

I've always made soup in large batches - three sons and OH get through a lot of food.

Since sons have flown the coop, having read this thread I'm now wondering if I should give it a go. I have a health condition which comes with a food aversion and find standing at the stove cooking for long periods very difficult. OH loves soup (I do too). This sounds really attractive.

Off to take a look on Amazon. Thanks for posting Shirleyw. This could solve a major problem for me.

I have a great soup maker - amongst other things - otherwise known as DH. I have to fight to get in the kitchen these days.

But where to put it? Any more gadgets and they will have to be stored under the kitchen table

I'm convinced. Def going to get one now but they make different models. Which one would you recommend?

So some enterprising wizard comes along thinking 'has no one thought of adding a heating element to a liquidiser/blender? I'll give it a go and call it a soup maker.

No, you don't.

lizzypopbottle. Indeed! He of a thousand aphorisms!

No, you DON'T have to cook the veg first! You put roughly chopped raw veg, stock cube and water into the soup maker, switch it on, and return when it calls you in 21 or 28 minutes to 4 to 6 servings of soup, either smooth or chunky depending on which setting you used. Or chicken chunks, veg and water, or whatever. No stirring, blending or sieving. No stuck-on soup to clean off the pan.

I have morphy Richards soup maker but soup always turn's out so watery I have lost interest in it. I have followed receipe's from book enclosed with it to but still like water. Any idea's how to thicken soup.

My son swears by his Thermamix which does everything - bread, cakes, soup, shepherd's pie etc erc - bar washing up. They are all the rage in Germany. I gaven't even got a blender & have nowhere to put gadgets for easy use. (Once in a cupboard they are forgotten). But I do have a DH.

I roughly chopped veg from the shopping. I did this am , the lentils were simmering while I chopped ,dumped the veg in , topped up from the kettle and closed the lid and the soup was ready for lunch time........... I use a large tefal pressure cooker and it makes enough soup to freeze for a week's lunches . Think I have had 5 of my 10 a day now !

Chris4159 Add a small chopped potato to the vegetables for thicker smooth soup. Lentil soup is usually thicker the day after it is made, so put it into a container for a day and then heat it up.

Or use the recipes at scottishmum.com/soup-maker-recipes/

I got my Morphy Richards for £34 at Claus Olsen on Cyber Monday. (that was the Monday after Black Friday 2014).
All the recipes say to put a potato in I assume that is to thicken it.

Love my Salter. The pleasure of not having to stand over a pan and no failures so far, and it was in a sale at £20. What's not to like?

At long last another ' Salter ' fan.

Mines a Salter as well They seem very similar to the Morphy Richards. It gets used around three times a week.

Why do you stand over a pot of soup ?
